 Gentlemen:



PLEASE DO NOT DENY WOMEN THE FREEDOM OF TAKING LIFE-CHANGING BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES.



I began having significant hormonal imbalance issues in my early 20?s.  I had taken several different kinds of birth control pills during that time.  I had difficulty becoming pregnant after that time because of hormonal imbalance, including the thyroid.  I also suffered with worsening PMS symptoms as time went on.  



After the birth of my second child, my symptoms were magnified.  I was having difficulty concentrating, I seemed to have no energy, and I was easily irritated or upset.  It was all I could do to go to work every day, because I was exhausted all the time.  Several months after the birth, I began taking biologically identical hormones, and they literally changed my life.  



I have enjoyed several years of taking biologically identical hormones.  They have resolved all of the issues I mentioned above, along with several others.  It is my right to take biologically identical hormones, and the monopoly of drug companies has no right to deny me and countless other women the opportunity to enrich our lives by being healthy and well.  They are both safe and effective, and millions of women around the globe should have the same opportunity to take them!



Best regards,



Pam Whitfield
